At the Law Offices of Matthew J. Quinlan, our San Francisco personal injury attorneys see countless cases of people being injured in accidents that were caused by texting & driving. The theme of the scholarship is “Don’t Text & Drive,” and we are giving $1,000 two times per year beginning in September (2016). Every day, 1000s of people are injured in the U.S. as a result of texting and driving and studies have shown that young-adults aged 18-24 are more than twice as likely to cause an accident while texting and driving than any other age group. We want to raise awareness about this issue with 18-24 year olds.website

Fighting leukemia requires determination, drive and diligence in both the patient and the patient’s loved ones. Often, the battle is a solitary one, isolating the patient and family. Our firm associates recognize this. That’s why we are delighted to introduce the first-ever John Foy & Associates “Strong Arm” Leukemia Scholarship.
